Francia
length 18.5 cm.
Round, smoothbore, damask, 11.5 mm cal barrel (one of the pocket pistol with the barrel replaced and, therefore, different from the original, the change was made in time of use; the replacement barrel is made of damask, but of slightly-shorter length). Finely engraved, box-lock type frames engraved with floral motifs, off-centre hammers and foresight. Foldaway trigger. Beautiful, grooved, wooden stocks, the front parted carved with a flower. Pronounced, faceted butt-plates engraved en suite with the frame. In a wooden case lined with brick-red velvet (signs of time) and provided with a single tool, lid with brass handle.
